Extreme sports are no challenge to him.
No B.O.
Never unable to break a $20 bill. Pen never runs our of ink. Always knows where the hell his keys are.

It’s Darkseid.
I’ve long thought that, since Kirby intended the old gods whom the New Gods replaced to have been been the Norse deities (and presumably giants), that the “seid” part of his name was an allusion to seidr, but I can’t prove it.

I’m not confident that that was one of Superman’s powers. Do you have a cite or a reason for believing that this would be among his abilities?
Not true! He’s seen all of the human pain and suffering caused by malaria and other mosquito-vectored illnesses. Much of it in person, on charity trips to tropical third-world countries. Nobody who stands for Justice (and Truth, and the American Way) could see that and not be bothered by mosquitoes.
He can’t even see through lead ? And we call him Super ? And his inexplicable aversion to any bit of his home planet, his allergy to Krypton, makes him appear weak. Still, he is a handsome and cheerful fella’ and polite as hell. And there’s the saving of Earth he does all the time. So, he’s not ‘too’ smart, on the other hand. I like the guy.
One of the most forgotten, but several times * established, power is super-ventriloquism.
Imagine the sick practical jokes he could play on random people.
Man’s face gets slapped, and a coworker threatens him with a workplace sexual harassment charge.
“WHAT?! You just invited me to your jacuzzi for some drinks!”
:eek:
I mean in pre-Crisis time. I don’t recall it ever being brought back after that.
I recall a comic from years ago, I think it was that Wildstorm one with the teenagers and the big redhead, and she was saved from something by Superman (obviously some kind of crossover), and she described touching him as being like warm marble.
He never has to fool with sunscreen at the beach.
Since everything is so easy for Superman, it’s impossible for him to get a decent workout. Superman becomes super-flabby super-quickly.
Not necessarily. He could get a pretty decent workout every other day by pushing the planet a thousand miles further out from the sun. And on alternate days, he could put it back.
Just so he doesn’t get into the habit of forgetting what he did the day before…
Great Ceaser’s ghost!
There’s no biological reason that other species should require either good diet or regular exercise to maintain peak physical condition. An intelligently designed species 
would have a metabolism programmed to keep you fit and muscular no matter what you ate or how much you exercised.
I had always assumed that when he eats a massive amount of matter, it converts to energy. Same as with Matter-Eater Lad.
Since E=mc squared, that might cause quite a problem. Neutrinos to the rescue!
Of course one problem is growing from a toddler on planet Earth. Some of the food Kal-El ate, at least prior to adulthood, somehow got converted into more of Kal-El.
It’s a “misty” mystery.
There’a pun here, but you won’t groan until you click on the link.
On second thought, that would not be a problem for Supie, since he could always use the extra energy, and it could be argued that his invulnerable body would be up to the task of storing it harmlessly, without potentially disastrous leakage, in the meantime.
Tenzil Kem would be another matter [del]eater[/del]. While there are no doubt multiple problems with what he can do, without ever (normally) displaying invulnerability, super-strength or super-speed, it is practically canon that he has “nuclear furnaces” inside. Neutrinos would seem to be the best explanation as to how he can dissipate the huge amount of energy harmlessly.
Exactly how you can arrive at neutrinos as the full output (or nearly so) of some kind of “nuclear” process is something I would leave to the reader as an exercise.
(I’ve always thought of this sort of thing as pleasant meanderings. But it’s silly to take it seriously. For instance, at what point does an “explanation” become too weak even for the “science” of comic books?)
Can always get ketchup out of the bottle with just a single shake.
He can beat Chuck Norris.
Over the past decade or so I have only see Powergirl and Supergirl use freeze breath. Is this a no longer used power by Superman.
